Bourn Jr. gave a de- lightful tea at her residence, 250 Webster street, yesterday afternoon. Scores of callers were received, although the affair was quite informal. The drawing-rooms were elaborately decorated with flowers and the arti apparent in every detail. An excellent musical programme was arranged for the guests, including vocal selections. Dainty Tefreshments were served during the aft- ernoon. o elidg Mrs. J. B. Nuttall gave an informal tea yesterday at her home on Jackson street, complimentary to her niece, Miss Nadine Nuttall, who is about to leave for Mexico with her mother.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 2.—The report that the Union Pacific system will spend $20,- 000,000 in improvements west of Ogden this year was officially verified to-day by Jullus Kruttschnitt, dent and general manager of the South- ern Pacific Rallway” The statement is tne first official confirmation of the ru- mors and was issued after an all-day conference with President Burt, Krutt- schnitt said: 1 came here direct from Mr. Harriman for the purpose of conferring with President Burt relative to the plan for improving the western portion of the Union Pacific system. It is now definitely decided that work of an enormous will be begun at once. The plan mow determined upon is to make the entire line from Ogden west to the coast as good as that part from Omaka to Ogden. To accom- plish this grades and curves will be elther eliminated or reduced and new steel rails and ties will be laid all the way. The most im- portant feature of the whole project, however, is thet the cutoff from Ogden to Lucin is finally to be built, extending directly across the north end of Great Salt Lake.

To-day all the sections and their guests will be present reception, it being social day. Professor DeWitt will give “An Afternoon of Mys- tery.” Mrs. A. D. Sharon is chairman of the day. S ATy Anna Strunsky delivered a delightful oratorica! essay on Browning, poet; Swin- burne and Willilam Ernest Henley and gave her opinion as regards the criticism of the latter man of letters on his friend, the late Robert Louis Stevenson, at the Century Club yesterday. Miss Strunsky is young and of Russian nationality. She possesses remarkable command of the English language; can hold an audlence interested and content to listen and make it desire more of her conclusions. Her method, or better, her characteristic, is that she can convince, and her treatment of the subjects she adopts is never tiresome. After the discourse Mrs. Edith Scott Bassford rendered a group of tender bal- lads composed by W. J. McCoy, who also accompanied the vocalist. Mrs, Dorman read from one of Frank Stockton’s stories years, but its feasibliity has been dounted and derided. Now it will be done. Work will commence at once. This cutoff will be just one hundred miles long, forty-three miles less thari the present route around the north end of the lake. The portion over the lake will be twenty-three miles long. Of this twelve miles in the center is through deep water, and per- manent trestling will be bullt the whole d tance. The other ten miles at either end will be laid upon a dirt embankment filled in with a rock facing. A great feature of the cutoff will be that it will avold the mse of 1400 feet at the north end of the lake, which is now en- countered by the roundabout road. This will mean much in_the saving of motive power. The dirt embankments to be bullt in the lake will be similar in construction to those two famous moles running out in the bay at San Franclaco, one a mile long and the ather two miles. ISTHMIAN COMMISSION TO BE GIVEN A HEARING Senate Committee to Look Into Legal Points Involved in Panama Canal Company’s Offer. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—The Senate fourth vice presi~| committee on Interoceanic Canals did not make a report to-day but decided to have hearings, beginning next Monday. The members of the Isthmian Commission and such other witnesses as may be de- sired will be summoned. The decision to have hearings was agreed to_ unanimously after the whole situation had been discussed. It was agreed that’ the legislative cbndition of the Senate was such that nothing could be gained by presenting a report at this time. A sub-committee consisting of Sena- tors Morgan, Foster, Turner, Pritchard and Kittredge was appointed to prepare a refFort on the legal points involved in the offer of the Panama Canal Company. —_— MANILA, Jan. 27.—The transport Sh arri here from San !‘runelmm"rlllf.: board, including thirty cases of has ved many sick on measles. and a bright programme will precede the | o 2 e e 2 ) | i | | and altogether it was a most entertain- ing and intellectual seance. - « e e The guests at the Cumberland enter- tained their friends Sunday evening. | Thirty-five guests weré invited to the | Cumberiand“to_dine, which number, in addition to the usual number in the | house, constituted a good sized assem- bly.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—An animated and prolonged discussion was precipitated in the Senate to-day over the right of army officers to criticize utterances made in the Senate or elsewhere on the conduct of affairs in the Philippines. Rising to a question of privilege early in the session, Dubois of Idaho had read an Assoclated Press dispatch from Ma- nila in which General - Wheaton was quoted as criticlzing some utterances of | Professor Schurman in a speech delivered | in Boston. Dubois thought the President, | in the circumstances, would be warranted in reprimanding General Wheaton for his utterances. He declared that such com- ' ment upon the action of the Senate was | “outrageous and indecent,” and that the minority had had quite enough of threats and blackmail. thus precipitated took a The debate wide range. The House to-day ulo;{:ed a resolution calling for documents relating to the old training ship Vermont, which was placed out of commission last summer, and also passed a bill to provide for the compul- sory attendance of witnesses before regis- ters and recelvers of the general luull office. #the men ‘who MURDERERS ARE STILL AT LARGE Vain Search for Fugi- tives Goucher and “Brownie.” Wade, the Injured Footpad, Soon to Be Moved to the Prison. . The police are still baffled in their dll- igent search to locate “Kid” Goucher and “Brownie,” wanted for complicity with Jack Wade, alias Daly, allas Henderson, in the brutal slaying of Policeman Robin- son. Since the murderers left the city several live clews to their whereabouts have been developed by the police, but thus far they have been unabie to hunt the murderers down. Every day the po- lice learn something about the diabolical methods of the organized gang of thieves | of which Wade, Goucher and “Brownie” were counted as the most desperate mem- bers. The story of their plot to liberate Gallie and Williams, two of their gang | now confined in the County Jail, which | was published exclusively in yesterday's Call, was an example of the desperate methods the organized gang of crooks | would resort to in order to free their | “pals” from the clutches of the pulice. | tectives Reynolds and Hamill are still | arching for Minnie Randolph and her | friend Ida, who tHey believe can tell | much that will lead the officers on the trail of Goucher and “Brownie. Thus far the women have thwarted the | best efforts of Captain Seymour's men. | Their haunts are known to the police, but | since the gang abandoned the Turk street house the two women have kept under | cover. | It Is generally believed that the two | missing murderers have gone south. Cap- tain Seymour is having every station be- tween this city and New Orleans on the Sunset route carefully watched. Good de- | scriptions of Goucher and “Brownie” have been scattered broadcast over the country and the police are certain that they can- | not enjoy their liberty much longer. Wade | is rapidly convalescing and by to-morrow | or the next day he will be in condition to | be moved from the City and County Hos- | pital to the City Prison. Not “Brownie” and Goucher. | SAN JOSE, Jan. 27.—Sheriff Langford to-day learned that the two men seen back of Mount Hamilton on Thursday are not “Brownie”” and Goucher, the mur- | derers of Policeman Robinson in San Francisco. It now believed here that | wanted escaped to the | southern part of the State, and did not | leave the Sunset Limited train in San Jose. Pat Condon, formerly superintendent of | the County Hospital, and now a rancher | back of Mount Hamilton, informed the | Sheriff’s office to-day that the two men | who were suspected of being the mur- derers of Robinson camped on the Arroyo | Bayou Friday night. He had met them and talked with the men. They told Con-, don they were on their way to the San Joaquin Valley, where they expected to | secure employment with Miller & Lux. Condon says the smaller man was about 35 years of age, and had a dark mustache tinged with gray. The other was about 25 years of age, five feet ten or eleven inches | tall and smooth shaven. Both men wore blue-black suits and carried bundles with them. 'his is just opposite to the de- scription of “Brownie” and Goucher. The | smaller of the men wanted is young and | smooth shaven, while the large one has a mustache. The boy with the cart, who was sup- posed to be with the men, proved to oe Cendon's son. He had been delivering milk to the Lick Observatory and just happened to be along with the men when Walter Brown met them. RIVERSIDE, Jan. 27.—Antonfo Adam, who | recently murdered a fellow Mexican, was to- | day sentenced to serve twenty years in San | Quentin by Judge Noyes. ONE VIGTIM OF THE GOLD IN' GHIGAGD Colored Woman Freezes to Death in a Shed. Severe Conditions Exist in the Lake Superior Region. Temperature Ranges From Eight teo Ten Degrees Below Zero and the Wind Blows a Gale. CHICAGO, Jan. 27.—One death has so far been reported as a result of the cold. The body of Sarah Scriggs, a colored wo- man, was found In bedvin a shed in the rear of 1261 West Lake street. To-night the wind, which had blown a half gale all day, died away, although the temperature was as low as last night. The coldest temperature of the day was 8 be- low at 2 a. m. To-night it was 4 below and falling slowly. The most severe con- ditions to-night existed in the Lake Su- perior region, where the temperature ranged from $ below to 12 below and the wind blew a gale. At Houghton, Mich., the storm was de- clared the worst within a generation. The mercury was 10 below and the wind blew thirty miles an hour. At Sault Ste. Marie for the first time this winter it was found impossible to run the ferries across the Straits of Mackinaw. All over the Lake Superior country trains were delayed and electric street car lines were practically out of business. In Southern Illinois and Indiana there were reports of ruined fruit crops and of dam- aged wheat. From Michigan came the old story of a peach crop destroyed. LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 27.—Freezing temperature was reported this morning as far south as Galveston, Tex. The ef- fects of the cold wave are already appar- ent in the Central South, a decline of 42 degrees occurring here within the past fifteen hours and a drop of nearly 50 de- grees being reported at Nashville and Memphis, Tenn. A decline of 4 degrees is predicted for Atlanta, Ga., to-night. Louisville was visited by a severe sleet storm last night, but no damage has re- sulted. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 27.—Last night and to-day was the coldest experi- enced in this part of the Southwest this winter, .with the following temperatures reported: Clinton, Mo., 17 degrees below zero; Lawrence, Kan., 16 below; Abilene, 17 below; Kansas City, 7 below. At Clin- ton, Mo., the thermomieter fell 49 degrees within twelve hours. Near Jewell. Kan., a Missouri Pacific train was ditched to- day by running into a snowbank. No one but the engineer was injured. To-day the weather in all parts of the Southwest has moderated greatly and theyindications are that the severe cold is at ah end. Decides Important Land Case. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.—Justice Brew- er of the Uniteu States Supreme Court to-day delivered the opinion of the eourt in the case of the United States vs. the Southern Pacific Company, involving title to land sold by the railroad company on portions of the companay's land grant. The court held that the ae- ticn of Congress in 15% had the effect of legalizing all these purchases except a purchase of 3,000 acres, which was made by Judson C. Groves and a foreign corpo- ration. The remedial act did not appiy to aliens, according to the court’s opinion. to-order suits have a dash and style to them even if the price is ow. They fit like high-priced garments. The pants hang right, the vest fits snugly and the coat sets well around the shoulders and hangs properly in the back. The fit is as good as you could wish for and the material is certainly worth the price.
